Storylines this year:
1) @Packers - bitter rivalry continues. It's great to put this as week 1. Pack win, business as usual. Seahawks win, and instant SB favorites.
2) 49ers - Peak 2017 Seahawk performance here in all 3 phases, as usual. Deja vu from 2016, week 3 except this time maybe Boykin comes in sooner without the need to relieve an ankle.
3) @Titans - Titans will want to showcase they are for real, and will have a good opportunity to prove it. Delanie Walker has been waiting a long time to play against Seattle and will get his shot.
4) Colts - Luck vs. Wilson part 2, and if the Colts win, Hawk fans will be miserable as it will be impossible to recover in the Luck/Wilson debate. 49er rivalry renewed welcoming an old friend, Franklin Gore back in the building.
5) @Rams - It won't matter what is going on with the Rams this year, this will be a struggle for Seahawks.
6) BYE
7) @Giants - will Seahawks continue to have Eli's #? Wilson's first big test of the season.
8) Texans - revenge on the minds of JJ Watt from that bloody nose chasing Wilson in 2013. The 20-0 blown lead. The pick 6. #NeverForget
9) Redskins - Based off of 2016, would be great game. Hard to say if this one will match up given offseason turmoil for Skins.
10) @Cardinals - Cardinals looking to get their first home W against Hawks since Wilson's first NFL game. Rule change prohibiting leaping will push them over the top for that W.
11) Falcons - Seahawks will play this one tough....maybe their most intensity for this season. People will get reminded why Century Link is such great HFA.
12) @Niners - This far into the season if the 49ers have rebounded, this has potential to be a real fight. Schematically this will be the best the 49ers offense has been presented against the Seahawks since maybe Mike Singletary's last season. Shanahan knows winning this game can make the season for Niner fans, and will pull out the stops for it including using Gilliam on the goal line.
13) Eagles - last two times the Eagles faced the Hawks, they appeared to be the hotter team or at least capable of winning and then falling very short. Eagles will try hard to change that perception but won't be easy.
14) @Jags - Gus built up the pieces but can Coughlin and Marrone improve on it. Chances are they can, and this will be the upset special to pick from April if we are led to believe Bradley's coaching was undermining all of that defensive talent. You throw in 10 am on the road and the temptation to place early money is there....
15) Rams - Another tough game for the Hawks, but winnable. Carroll goes for it on 4th down a few times to protect Jonathan Ryan.
16) @Cowboys - a chance to see if Cowboys still have Seahawks #. All eyes will be on Dak & Elliott, assuming Dak isn't suffering from a sophomore slump.
17) Cardinals - pressure on Seattle to win a home game against the Cards for first time since 2014.
